Apple pushes new test systems such as iOS 11.4.1

Recently, Apple released the third beta versions of iOS 11.4.1, tvOS 11.4.1 and macOS 10.13.6. As for iOS 11.4.1, there are no major functional improvements. The main upgrades of iOS 11.4 are AirPlay 2 and iCloud information synchronization. As for the second beta versions of new systems such as iOS 12 and macOS Mojave, there is no reliable information yet.

iOS 11.4.1 is expected to fix some bugs and vulnerabilities in previous versions. For example, the official version of iOS 11.4 was found to have a decrease in battery life. The problem seems to be with WiFi. Users said that when they connected to 5GHz WiFi, the power consumption was very obvious, but there was no such problem with 2.4GHz WiFi.

Meanwhile, in the previous version iOS 11.4, Apple added new features such as AirPlay 2 and cloud messaging, which is a major version update. AirPlay 2 supports users to play audio on any single or multiple devices anywhere in the home, and HomePod finally supports stereo combination function. The iCloud cloud "Messages" function allows users to synchronize all iMessage messages, including if you delete a message, it will also be deleted on other devices.

In addition, for devices such as GrayKey used by law enforcement agencies, Apple has also added a "USB restricted mode" in iOS 11.4. When the iPhone's data interface is connected and not unlocked within an hour, the device will be prohibited from access and can only be charged. In this way, devices such as GrayKey cannot be connected to the iPhone for cracking.

As for tvOS 11.4.1 and macOS 10.13.6, the upgrades are also mainly focused on system stability. Now Apple has focused its energy on the development of new systems such as iOS 12. If there are any changes in old systems such as iOS 11, WeiPhone will bring you relevant news as soon as possible.

If you want to experience iOS 11.4.1 or iOS 12, you can go to Apple's Developer Center website to install the corresponding configuration file, and then you will be able to receive OTA push of the beta system.
